NEW! HEALING through literacy program

Learning how to read is one of the most important skills children develop. Providing them with necessary tools is imperative if we wish to create lifelong learners. Not only do children need to learn how to identify and use various letters to read increasingly complex texts, but they must also develop a rich vocabulary, make inferences, comprehend various genres, and express themselves through speaking and writing.
